KEELEY's MOTOR MovEs.
/ It Comes from Philadelphia to New
York on a Train
From the Neic York star.

/ From the Neic York star.
The distinguished inventor. Mr.. Kelley,
/ of Philadelphia. whose motor has effected
such a startling revolution in the worlds
industry, is stopping for few days at the
! Clarendon Hotel, at Fourth avenue and
/ Seventeenth street He has come to New
/ York to rest from his inventions and to
l give his stockholders a few DAYS to count
their dividends 1t may he given out as
| fiction unknown to people in general, that
/ the Volunteer, during the recent race, had
+ Kelley motor aboard This motor clearly
/ proved its superiority TO the triple expan-
sion engine which the Thistle carried under
/ keel
/ Mr.. Kelley is IN the best Of humor over
/ the perennial success Of his inventions. The
mere fact that stock in the Kelley Motor
/ Company has gone up &c. pound, and now
/ leads the alien rags OF Egypt by quarter
/ Of cent, lends a strong air Of probability
/ to the Tumor that the Kelley motor is about
TO be adopted by all the manufacturers and
owners Of tall buildings in New York. Mr..
| Kelley remains susplciously mysterious
! about his machine, which was perfected
| three months ago aud is now, 50 TO speak,
I ready for the retail market. II is said that
| toy Kelley motors Of one-half mule power,
and strong enough to run a sewing ma
chine, will, in a few days, be sold by hand
cart men on all the principal streets OF the
! city.
There is a rival inventor 70 Mr. Kelley in
town. The Philadelphia was somewhat
| surprised to see at breakfast yesterday
morning Mr.. McGuffin, of Fond du Lac,
| Wis, the inventor of the Mctiuffin motor.
| Mr. Kelley scowled across the table at Mr..
| McGuliin Mr. McJuffin returned the scowl
with interest Mr. Kelley disdainfully arose
from the table and sought the smoking
room.
Interest in the McGuffin motor at present
surpasses that in the Kelley motor, and the
stockholders in the former enterprise are
! trying 10 unload their stock with that spirit
of atruism which is often shown by the
owners of an Arizona silver mine.
The McGuffin motor is based on a new
principle in mechanics Everybody knows
that butter is strong. Sometimes it is so
strong that it is popularity said that it can
walk Limburger cheese Is universally ad
mtted To be strong. Mr. McGu;fn pro-
poses TO take this rare strength which be
longs to odors and apply it to machinery.
He says that it will surpass Mr.. Keeleys
force, and that with an ounce OF Llmburger
cheese he can produce more power than
Kelley can with thinbleful OF ether.
Ii the mechanical power afforded by the
rise of a single tide in New York Bay might
be utilized it would move all the machinery
in the world. Mr.. McGuffia claims that if
he could utilize the doors made i'll a single
day in Hunters Point he could move all the
machinery in the world and have plenty Of
power to spare. He mas invented a huge
machine TO bottle and apply as a mechanical
power the enormous strength OF these vaTi
Gus doors which are now suffered TO 90 to
waste. A series of huge sweeps, like those
of a Holland windmill. gather these odors
into the central reservoir by process which
is part Of the mysterious secret of the in
vention and incapable of being under
stood, just as Mr.. Keeley's ether and motor
are profound secrets and beyond the under
standing of anybody
In regions where the air is absolutely
pure the McGuffin moter may be run on
stale butter. A pound of ordinary packed
butter would furnish enough power to run
a rolling mill for week. A single ounce
! of Limburger cheese would run ali the facto-
! ries and elevators i'll New York for a month.
| Oleomargarine would furnish still stronger
power than either of the others for the new
| machine
Mr. McCiutfin has applied for patent for
his new motor, and will try to introduce it
| in st. Louis, Chicago and Pittsburg, where
strong odors are abundant and free Hunt
er's Point will be the headquarters of the
new motor company in the East, and here
! most of its machines will be set up. 1t is
confidently believed that the odOrs in Hunt
er's Point will run all the machinery on the
Atlantic seaboard.
